“If our growth is good, our service is good and our quality is good, then I think our results will be a consequence of this growth and innovation.” Vikram Somany Chairman & MD, Cera Sanitaryware Limited. How has been the company’s journey of more than 2 decades? Cera Sanitaryware Limited was founded in the year 1980 at Kadi in Gujarat, India. Its factory is strategically located, where raw material, power, fuel, etc. are abundantly available. It has the largest production of 3.5 million pieces of sanitaryware in one location in India. The state-of-the-art manufacturing plant follows the highest standards of quality with an emphasis on sustainability since its inception in 1980. It uses latest technology like robotic glazing, pressure casting, 3D printing, etc. After its success in sanitaryware, Cera launched faucets, with its own green-field, state-of-the-art plant in Kadi. It has 3D printing, robotic grinding, low pressure die casting, automatic chrome plating, etc. to name a few. The faucet plant of Cera has a capacity to produce 10,000 pieces per day. CERA also launched wall and floor Tiles, in all categories—vitrified, ceramic, porcelain, glazed vitrified tiles, polished vitrified tiles, digital wall and floor tiles, and also for applications like exterior wall, parking areas, etc. Cera has two Tile plants currently, one in Morbi and the other in Gudur.
